There are several basic skills from Open Water Diver training (like emergency skills and navigation) that are extremely important to deep divers. You should review and renew these skills with your SSI instructor.

Buoyancy is critical when deep diving and is directly related to proper weighting. Your instructor will show you how to properly weight yourself, and practice buoyancy control in the pool or confined water.

Surface Air Consumption rates are an important part of deep dive planning. Your instructor will show you how to estimate your SAC rates prior to the open water training sessions.

Navigation skills are important to all divers; if you are not familiar or not comfortable with navigation techniques, you should take a Navigation Specialty program from your SSI Dive Center.

Why take the Deep Diver Course?

Phuket has some good deep dive sites that make this one of the best locations for diving Deep. There is something about deep diving that excites us all and something mysterious about exploring deeper sites maybe it’s a shipwreck. Most of us just need that first experience of a deep dive with a private instructor to get us hooked. The Deep Diver Specialty course gives us that boost of confidence to dive safely down to 40 meters/130 feet.

What’s involved in Deep Water Training Dives?

Your private training starts by meeting your instructor and reviewing the Theory and reasons for our passion for deep diving, and how important safety is in order to know our limits and restriction for diving on Air or Enriched air while doing a deep dive. Deep water training dives you’ll Learn the following.

Deep Dive planning

Descent procedures

The deep diving process begins before the diver ever enters the water. Deep diving is all about planning and then rechecking everything to minimize the chance of something going wrong. As we mentioned in the first two sections, making a dive plan and preparing your equipment is critical to the deep diving process. Plan your dive; dive your plan!

Proper descent procedures include going down feet first, with the power infiltrator in your left hand while facing your buddy. You must remain aware of your buddy’s needs at all times, and be on the lookout for general problems. Your descent rate should not exceed your comfort level. Descending too fast may cause squeezes, disorientation or an out-of-control situation. You must be heavy enough to make a controlled descent, without being so heavy that you cannot compensate with your buoyancy compensator to slow your descent if needed. This is why a line is helpful when descending. The diver can slow down if necessary, stop to equalize ears, readjust a piece of equipment, or check on his or her buddy. You can also make a descent using a wall, kelp, or the slope of the beach as visual references.
